Tue Feb 23 the Moon is still in Gemini when the Sun sextiles Pluto. There are some changes that just need to be made, and there are gracious ways of making them.  Then the Moon enters Cancer. Everything seems to hit closer to home.  You do not have to spill coffee on your desk. Wed

Feb 24 the Moon is in Cancer, but, as always, it reaches out and touches someone, lots of someones.  Today the Moon trines the Sun (self-confidence improves), then the Moon trines Jupiter (give if not also get some good luck), then the Moon trines Venus (adds a touch of charm to everything—-so appreciate it). That’s a lot of gentle touches.  Stay concentrated on your work, but Heads Up in a good way.

Thu Feb 25 the Moon conjuncts Mars retrograde in Leo.  Heads Up. Channel this away from anger and into being a little nobler in the daily routine.  Be willing to cheerfully do something that someone else won’t.  Worse case, hole up and write like a demon.

Sat Feb 27 the Moon is still in Leo when Mercury conjuncts Neptune. Magic can happen today.  Make it beneficent magic, because before midnight, the Moon opposes Neptune, then Mercury, and all plots and scheming may be revealed. (This might be a useful scenario in the writing of a fantasy novel.)

Sun Feb 28 the Sun conjuncts Jupiter.  Contemplate general good luck. About five hours later, the Moon opposes Jupiter.  Consider that something lucky may have happened but you’ve overlooked it.  Let the Moon shine its light on whatever good is available to you.  Eighteen whole minutes later comes the Full Moon at 09Vir.  Patiently perfect the many small things that are nonetheless important to you.  This is heady stuff on which to end the month.  Heads Up for sure. The month ending on a Full Moon is quite a gift.  It’s a brilliance to be taken into the coming month.  Be brilliant, too, full of plans and projects for the future, and full of energy for the present.  Be a light that shines for everyone.  Writers work hard with passion and deserve to be heard and read.  This means you!  Have a stunning month. Heads Up! *********

December 2009

An intense year has come to an intense end.  Absorb some of that power and draw on it in the year to come (not that next year lacks intensity).  A Full Moon in Cancer is bright, high in the sky for many, many hours.  Embrace your personality for what it is, for what and who you are.  There is only one you, however flawed or perfect.  There will never be another one.  You’re it!  Share your perspective with the world, throughout time and space.  Write like you mean it, because if you don’t, well, what do you mean?  Commit yourself to the cause that is yourself, and then get out of your own way.

Have a fantastic month, and a stunningly progressive and productive year to come!  Start strong, and finish stronger.  Heads Up!

Stellar Jay Awaits!

The last month of the year starts off with some great gifts for writers.   (continue reading…)

Head's Up!

November may start out stormy in Scorpio, but it ends on a bright note with Sagittarius.  You can progress in the same way.  The dark and the light are both required, especially for that twilight in which a lot of us writers do our thing.  Have a powerful, strongly rooted and brilliantly productive month!  Heads up!

October 2009

Welcome to October!!It’s a challenging month, but also empowering.  Put the final touches on some projects, and explore the skeletal beginnings of others.  It may be a time for caution, but not of hesitation or doubt.  We all have doubts, of course, but we don’t have to reveal them to the world.  Nor does this mean suppression.  It may simply mean tact, and Libra loves tact.

Have a splendid, pumpkin-grinning joyous autumn month of writing.  Heads Up! (continue reading…)

This is one intense month, but it has a lot of built-in advantages.  Use Mercury and Virgo to achieve a lot on the writing front.  The sky changes, and the planets move on.  What some may consider oppression, we can bottle and pour into our work.  Look on the bright side, work hard, and be good to yourself!  Heads Up!

Heads Up!

Mon Aug 17 the Moon is in Cancer when Mercury conjuncts Saturn in Virgo. It’s a day made for editing, or for nailing down the details in that synopsis or new plot outline. Later, the Sun opposes Neptune retrograde. Critical reading is essential but can be taken to an ugly extreme. Later still, Mars trines Neptune retrograde. Magic is still alive and well, perhaps hiding out in some manuscript of yours. (continue reading…)
